El Abd - inpeccable

[timbha]

Ok Vicente was the star for 20 odd minutes today but don't forget that week in week out AEA is a rock at the back taking orders from Poyet and delivering what's asked.

Have other noticed how our Braveheart leader Greer sends AEA into the danger zones and marshalls his troops from a safe distance? Also Greer hardly ever/never challenges for headers from our corners...... he just blocks players and looks for knock downs.

Why is Dunk not in the squad? short answer....AEA

AEA is playing very well. Criticising Greer is wrong though, POTS for me this year.

 

[BHA Swiifty]

Greer and AEA are both class CB's, Greer does go up for headers as he's the tallest player on the pitch besides brez.

 

[Mr deez]

Was lucky not to concede a pen with the blatant push though.

Spot on, AEA and GG are an immense pairing at the back.

 

[angmering albion]

Greer is player of the season for me so far, he's been brilliant all season. Him and El Abd together have got to be the best cb combo in this league (of course many other fans of different clubs will say that theirs are).

 

[Don Tmatter]

Egypt must have some top drawer defenders if AEA cant get a sniff of a call up.

 

[severnside gull]

looking forward to seeing that incident on the box tonight

Nice swallow dive by there player ...they had been going down far too easily earlier ..what goes around comes around.
On subject of Adam ..I thought at one stage he was going to hav to go off...after giving a free kick away for tackling there payer fairly he looked uncomfortable for the rest of the half ...showed no effects 2nd half though

They really have developed into an excellent partnership.

They do compliment each other well. Greer the silky footballer and El Abd the hard man.

just an observation about Greer by friends in the East and West stands - not sure being the tallest player is an explanation. When was the last time he scored from a corner? when was the last time he had a header on goal? Don't get me wrong, he's been fantastic, a great captain, tackler, good pace, reads the game well,etc, etc

Agreed, but he does have a good header on him from goalkeepers kicks etc, but 50% of the time we do short corner's

our corners are generally poor. Two from Noone today went straight to Pompey keeper.

 

[Discodoktor]

AEA another amazing game together with Greer. but it was a def penalty and the
Danger had passed. We were lucky with that one.

 

[ferring seagull]

I thought Adam was impeccable !

 

[BHAFANS]

AEA brings steel, Greer brings order and technical ability. Both class

 

[timbha]

I thought Adam was impeccable !

good spot and an even better contribution

If Vicente hadn't come on then El Abd would have been my MOM.

 

[clapham_gull]

So comfortable on the ball as well, no surprise he is first on the team sheet.

My favourite Albion player by far.

Have those who thought he was non league fodder f*cked off and supported another team yet ? Not soon enough....
